Without boundaries

I thought for a long time what I should write about the biennale JEUNE CREATION EUROPENNE.

First, I would like to remind that the international focus of the project gives to the artists an integrating opportunity in the European artistic scene. The fact that the biennale is open for artist from “new” European countries finally means that “everybody is in the same boat”.

At the first sight it looks simple, but we all know that recent history of Central Europe was not simple. And this moment is the result of many political changes that happened 20 years ago.

Some people could think that the political change is enough and that everything would be ok. But recently we see how cooperation of countries previously divided requires time and a lot of work.

It is to say that art has no boundaries. I think there are boundaries: every one is impacted by them. But it is
necessary to think how to reduce them. One of the examples is this biennale « Jeune Création Européenne ». Suddenly it is natural that the artists are meeting each other to create the history of this international exhibition.
